[PATCH] swap: get_swap_page drop swap_list_lock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Rewrite get_swap_page to allocate in just the same sequence as before, but
without holding swap_list_lock across its scan_swap_map.  Decrement
nr_swap_pages and update swap_list.next in advance, while still holding
swap_list_lock.  Skip full devices by testing highest_bit.  Swapoff hold
swap_device_lock as well as swap_list_lock to clear SWP_WRITEOK.  Reduces lock
contention when there are parallel swap devices of the same priority.
